FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 1970 268th day - 97 days to come

Rcd. a letter from Frank Thibault. Sent me the rules for SQUIGGLE. He thinks TROMINO GO is a good game, but is afraid that no company will look at this type of game anymore. He has one called CONTIGO which 10 com- panies have rejected, with complimentary letters. He asked for TOTEM back from 3M because they can't do anything with it for a couple of years, although they seem to like it as much as PLOY. "Samsonite" so far likes CONTIGO. Jerry's PLUG-A-JUG is doing very well. He just sold COMMODITY to "Samsonite."

Called Felicia (just as she was about to call me). She wanted the info on Ginni Scott in T & N, since she threw that part of the page away after cutting out the picture of the Gamette packaging. She had no further info about my demonstrating at "Brentanos," so I'll go ahead with plans for my opera- tion. We tried to come up with a better name for FITTING & PROPER with no success. We'll both think about it and speak again on Sunday. I said I'd bring it to her Monday about 3. She'll get it right out to X. I again said that I didn't want to offend Bill Caruson. She said that he hadn't been that interested; willing to see but not particularly enthousiastic. Steve Barkoczy wrote a long analysis of FITTING AND PROPER. Felicia didn't want to read it, but she told him she is sure I'd want to. Will either have him mail it to me or bring it over some time when I am there.

Wrote to Haar Hoolim.

Called Herb Siegel (the antique game collector) [address] Wyncote, Penna. 19095, 215-TU6-9486 We will visit them on Oct. 11 and 12. Herb will send me a map to locate his house.

English FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER
1970 268th day - 97 days to come


Rcd. a letter from Frank Thibault. Sent me the rules
for SQUIGGLE.
He thinks TROMINO GO is a good game, but is afraid
that no company will look at this type of game
anymore. He has one called CONTIGO which 10 com-
panies have rejected, with complimentary letters.
He asked for TOTEM back from 3M because they can't
do anything with it for a couple of years, although they
seem to like it as much as PLOY.
"Samsonite" so far likes CONTIGO.
Jerry's PLUG-A-JUG is doing very well. He just sold
COMMODITY to "Samsonite."
Called Felicia (just as she was about to call me). She
wanted the info on Ginni Scott in T & N, since she
threw that part of the page away after cutting out
the picture of the Gamette packaging.
She had no further info about my demonstrating
at "Brentanos," so I'll go ahead with plans for my opera-
tion.
We tried to come up with a better name for
FITTING & PROPER with no success. We'll both think
about it and speak again on Sunday. I said I'd
bring it to her Monday about 3. She'll get it
right out to X. I again said that I didn't want
to offend Bill Caruson. She said that he hadn't been
that interested; willing to see but not particularly
enthousiastic.
Steve Barkoczy wrote a long analysis of FITTING AND PROPER.
Felicia didn't want to read it, but she told him she is
sure I'd want to. Will either have him mail it to me or bring
it over some time when I am there.
